LED STRIP HORTICULTURAL 16W/M

💡 Reels available: 5 m (16.4 ft)

The horticultural LED strip 16W/m (IP54) is a grow light solution specifically engineered for indoor plant cultivation. Running on 24V DC, it emits a targeted light spectrum combining red 660 nm and blue 450 nm — the two wavelengths most absorbed by chlorophyll, which directly stimulate photosynthesis, vegetative growth and flowering. Measured in µmol/m²/s (PPFD), the active photon flux of this strip is optimized to maximize light efficiency per watt consumed, where a standard white LED strip wastes a large portion of its energy on wavelengths plants cannot use.

cULus certified and IP54 rated against water splashes and humidity, it is perfectly suited for growing environments where irrigation, condensation and moisture are part of the daily routine. With a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, it delivers stable and consistent performance throughout every growing season.

Horticultural Light Spectrum — Red 660 nm and Blue 450 nm                       

In horticulture, grow light efficiency is measured in µmol/m²/s (PPFD) — the photosynthetic photon flux density reaching the crop surface per second. The higher the PPFD in the active spectral bands, the faster and more efficient plant growth becomes. This strip concentrates all its output on the two wavelengths essential to the plant life cycle:

• Blue 450 nm – Stimulates vegetative growth, leaf and stem development, and regulates plant morphology. Ideal for the germination and growth phase.
• Red 660 nm – Maximizes photosynthesis and promotes flowering, fruiting and ripening. Essential for the flowering and production phase.

Recommended Applications                       

This horticultural LED strip 16W/m is ideal for:

• Residential and commercial greenhouses requiring supplemental or primary grow lighting
• Indoor gardens, living walls and hydroponic systems in controlled environments
• Seed germination, seedling cultivation and vegetative propagation year-round
• Grow shelves, grow cabinets and vertical growing spaces (grow racks)

Performance and Installation                       

With its IP54 rating, this strip withstands water splashes and the high ambient humidity of growing spaces. It can be installed directly above plants, on shelving or metal structures, with no additional protective housing required. For improved thermal management in intensive installations, integration into an aluminum profile is recommended.

The recommended distance between the strip and the plant canopy varies by installation density and crop species. To maximize light penetration and PPFD at canopy level, mounting 15–30 cm above the plants is generally advised.

Power Supply Calculator                       

This LED strip consumes approximately 4.9 watts per foot. Simply multiply the total installed length by 4.9 to determine the required wattage.

Always add a 20% safety margin to ensure system stability and longevity.

• 1 reel (5 m / ~16 ft) = 80W → 115W power supply recommended
• 2 reels (~32 ft) = 160W → 200W power supply recommended
• 3 reels (~48 ft) = 240W → 300W power supply recommended

Use a 24V power supply matched to the total calculated wattage. For installations with a grow light schedule, any standard 24V power supply is compatible with an external timer switch.
